Victoria School was constructed to replace the North Ward or Albion Street School, with the intention to provide a place of elementary school education for generations of North Ward

children. The school, which was named in honor of the Queen’s diamond jubilee, is one of Brantford’s last remaining 19th century elementary school buildings and educated the city’s children for over 100 years before closing as an elementary school in 2002.

The school was re-purposed as an Alternative Education school offering secondary education program for struggling students and continuing education program for adult student from September 2003 to September 2007.
